Hello Sam, a good resource for this is http://antmaps.org. It is very user friendly and should be very useful. It even includes geographical coordinates for collection locations. All you need to do is click on Ohio and you will get a list of all species present in your state. From there you'll be able to click on any species in the list and see its distribution and collection data.

Pennsylvania here, haven't seen a thing. Also with that map is there a way to list all ants in my area? I would like a hitlist of ants so I know what I can have and plan for their care ahead of time.

Make sure you are on "Diversity view" then click your state.
Should give you a list of all the native species
